Lonely Planet review

The official entrance to Chinatown is the decorative gate, or paifong , a gift from the city of Taipei. It is symbolic - not only as an entryway for guests visiting Chinatown, but also as an entryway for immigrants who are still settling here, as they come to establish relationships and roots in their newly claimed home. Chinatown Park surrounds the gate and anchors the southern end of the Rose Kennedy Greenway.

Incorporating elements of Feng Shui, the park design is inspired by the many generations of Asian immigrants who have passed through this gate.
